Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB)
Linear alkyl benzene (LAB), also known as detergent alkylate. It is a basic petrochemical intermediate derived by alkylation of benzene starting from n-paraffins feedstock, is used to produce LAS (Linear Alkylbenzene Sulphonate) which is used almost exclusively as a surfactant in detergents and cleaning products.
